Now, Ryu Ji-hyun, manager of the Korean baseball team, has come to know 'Kim Seo-hyun's agony'.
With the closing of the Hanwha Eagles, Kim Seo-hyun, who became one of Hanwha's star players by making 33 saves this season to rank second in saves after Park Young-hyun (35 saves), showed sluggish performance at the end of the season and had to have a hard time in the postseason.
It was the beginning of the misfortune that he took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 4-1 lead against SSG on October 1 and suffered a come-from-behind defeat by Hyun Won-hoe and Lee Yul-ye after two outs.
I expected him to shake it off and make a save for the championship in the postseason, but rather worried.
He took the mound in the ninth inning of the first playoff against Samsung and was replaced by Lee Jae-hyun with a solo shot and Lee Sung-kyu with a timely hit, and in Game 4, he took the mound in the sixth inning and was hit by Kim Young-woong with a tying three-run shot. He took the mound in the top of the eighth inning with one out and runners on the first and third bases, trailing 1-2 in Game 3 of the Korean Series against LG, and unfortunately gave up one run on a wild pitch, but he stopped additional runs and became the first winning pitcher of the Korean Series by taking the mound in the ninth inning with six runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to lead 7-3. I wondered if I had found confidence, but I didn't. The next day, he took the mound at the top of the eighth inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases with a 3-1 lead, blocking Austin and roaring, but he was replaced by Park Sang-won after allowing a two-run shot to Park Dong-won in the top of the ninth inning with a three-run lead of 4-1. In the end, with two outs and runners on the second and third bases, Kim Hyun-soo was hit by a reversal, and Moon Bo-kyung even allowed a hit to Austin, allowing an additional run, eventually losing 4-7.
It was a nightmarish fall of 2025 for Kim Seo-hyun.

But there is no time to calm down. He should join the national team immediately and play warm-up matches against the Czech Republic and Japan.
LG and Hanwha players who played the Korean Series will participate in training from the 4th. Kim Seo-hyun, who is wearing the national team uniform, will be able to meet him every day from the 4th.
Now director Ryu Ji-hyun is in charge of Kim Seo-hyun. I wonder how to take care of him.
Coach Ryu Ji-hyun approached the question of Kim Seo-hyun carefully on the 2nd, when he had his first call-up training session. "(Kim)Seohyun is in a heavy state of mind. First of all, I'll look at the situation in a way that relieves that heavy heart a little bit," he said. "Now that I'm a national team player, I think I'll have to look at those parts carefully because I'm a player with a future. I think we need to approach first to take the burden off our minds, and depending on the situation, we need to think about the mound."
In particular, Hanwha players are very tired of playing the playoffs and the Korean Series. "When the players join, we will have to check their physical condition and see how we will prepare for the game against the Czech Republic," Ryu said.
